    It's very easy. More than you can imagine.

    Just wet the paper and double it as many times do you want, after doing so let it dry and work done! :D

    they did this on myth busters...way less bust than the YT vid though :(

    they made a pc of paper like the size of an airplane hanger and they needed a forklift to get the 7th fold but they did it :p

    sticky tape 2 pieces of newspaper together and see how you go. (Sticky taping isn’t cheating – it actually makes the paper even harder to fold because in some places you’ve got the extra thickness of the tape as well as the paper!)
    . if that doesn’t work try it with 4 pieces, then 8 – however many it takes to get there

    (2^N t)/(2^-N w) = 2^(2N) t/w -- this is the same equation as above--

    t = the thickness of the paper
    w = the width of the paper
    if you keep folding the paper in half you get constant thinkness, obviously doubling every time, which gives you a thickness of (2N multiplied t) so to calculate the width we use (2^–N multiplied w). If we use these together wan can find the ratio between the thickness and the width using (2^2N times t/w)

    To conclude from that, after 6 folds the thickness would be greater than the width so it is almost impossible to fold again.

    In theory it can be done up to 11 folds using alternate folding (height and width), this way the width would only halve every second fold

    Hope this explains:)
